Hoo boy, what a year it's been.

It's a bad feeling when you love art like I do but become incapable of making it! I'm hoping that slowly changes. Anyway, it's been a little over a year since my last journal so I thought I'd give an update.

So, where have I been? Working lol. Still working, I am happy, but I burn out often. One of the major parts of my job is actually handling social media, which makes me avoid it more when I'm at home. I spend more time playing video games now. Also over the past year and a half my computer I built when I moved out on my own a longgg time ago began showing signs of failure, especially in the RAM and motherboard. It was also starting to become outdated for gaming. It's hard to dedicate time for art when you can only do so for about 30min before your PC locks up and crashes. So starting in 2024 I took a hefty chunk from each paycheck and used it to buy new PC parts bit by bit. I also got a second desk to expand my workstation to a two monitor set up and have an area to focus on traditional art. I finished my new PC and set-up at the end of April, and I feel so much better. Being able to draw again is very healing, and I look forward to making new stuff.


I still have no plans to open commissions again. I got tired of paying taxes on it, kind of just became a pain. If I open them publicly, they'll likely be in exchange for items. I also plan to open them on Flight Rising sometime in August/September but for on-site currency only. Also, Art fight! I'll be there again, and hopefully every year to come.


I've revamped a lot of my socials. Most everything at this point has been changed to "Gojirin" or "GoGoGojirin". I started a new instagram page and I'm also on bluesky now. My chances of become a published author are pretty slim to none, but I decided I no longer wanted to use my main characters name for my social media handles lol. I've also lost complete access to my weebly site and portfolio after they merged with squarespace. I'm doing my best to erase links to it from my socials, but know if you do have it that information is no longer accurate and can never be updated again. I've instead opened a Carrd and will be making a new portfolio there. You can find the link to that at the bottom of this journal and in my profile!


I think that's all for now! Look for more art in the future, and be sure to check my other socials if you want to see more of my non-anthro/feral work!
